A howling success: The fifth howler monkey census on Barro Colorado Island
Date:4/19/2010

from the University of Panama arrived on the Island on March 18th to participate in a 2-day workshop on determining primate densities that included volunteering for the count.

Milton organized the first island-wide group count in March, 1977. That census also revealed approximately 65 groups and thus, around 1200 monkeys.

"It doesn't look like howlers on Barro Colorado have suffered from any devastating diseases or other catastrophic problems for the last three decades," said Milton, "groups are larger at some times of year and smaller at others, which seems to reflect births and the specific causes of death that affect different ages of monkeys at different times of the year."
